Her = Subject (basically subject should answer the question "who").

object complement = reading (because it gives more information about her hobby).

If you are asking for object then it might be "hobby".

I suggest you see the difference between "subject complement" and "object complement".

I hope this helps.

@scarletnnviolet I am struggling to understand how come "her" is subject while it is "hobby" what is described
hobby is reading
I am so puzzled by it
why not hobby is subject and reading is object

Hobby is something that a person has.
So if I ask
What is something that a person has?
you can say "a hobby"
So this makes sense that the person is subject who has an object that is his/her hobby.

Reading is specifying what that person's hobby (object) is.

So that's why "reading" becomes the extra information that describes the object (hobby)
so reading becomes object complement i.e. extra information describing the object

@scarletnnviolet so in this sentence
"the goal was to get there as soon as possible "
the subject complement is "to get there"?

the goal = subject
was = verb
to get there = object

whatever remains is complement
"as soon as possible" describes the action of getting there
so as soon as possible is object complement

This is not really correct.

"her favourite hobby" as an entire phrase is the subject. Subjects don't have to be people. "her" on its own is just a pronoun. "reading" is the subject complement of the sentence because "is" is a linking verb and so doesn't have a "true" object in the sense of other verbs. An object complement describes the object of a verb, but there is no object to be described in this sentence. An example of an object complement would be the word "difficult" in "She made the question difficult".

"to get there as soon as possible" is a subject complement for the same reason. "to get there" on its own isn't an object because 1) "was" is a linking verb and 2) "as soon as possible" is modifying "get" so the phrase has to be taken as a whole, it cannot be split into two. If you split it, you're implying that "as soon as possible" describes "was", which doesn't make sense.
